A couple of Miami Dolphins notes to get you through your Friday morning:

1. Cameron Wake ends his mini-holdout.

Missing a week of voluntary workouts was enough for Wake. The Dolphins’ best pass rusher got his point across to management that he’s not happy with his contract, which expires at the end of the 2012 season and will pay him a $615,000 base salary this year.

And Wake missed working out with his teammates. Prior to last week, Wake had never missed a voluntary workout in his four-year NFL career.

Now, he’s back at the Dolphins’ facility this week, working out with his teammates and meeting his new coaching staff.

“Cameron felt like he had to go in to speak with Joe Philbin face to face, man to man, out of respect to him as a new coach,” said Wake’s agent Paul Sheehy. “They spoke, and Cameron decided to work with his teammates during this voluntary period, while I work on the business side of things with the Dolphins.”

Wake’s holdout would have cost him a $50,000 workout bonus that he can now collect by appearing at the voluntary sessions.

But he might have to be patient in regards to getting a contract extension. After signing Gary Guyton and Legedu Naanee this week, the Dolphins have about $5 million in salary cap space right now, and need every penny to pay for the incoming rookie class. If the Dolphins and Wake can’t agree on a contract extension, the Dolphins could always use the Franchise Tag on Wake in 2013.

2. Jeff Ireland won’t be “pressured” into drafting a quarterback.

Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean the Dolphins won’t take Ryan Tannehill with the eighth overall pick. Or that they won’t try to trade up or down to try to get him.

Many draft experts expect the Dolphins to draft Tannehill in part to rehab the team’s image after not landing Peyton Manning and letting Matt Flynn sign with Seattle.

But Ireland said he won’t take a quarterback just because the Dolphins have been getting criticized locally and nationally. And he won’t draft one just because the Dolphins haven’t drafted one in the first round since 1983, and haven’t found a solution at the position since Dan Marino retired in 2000.

“Certainly I’m not going to get into the quarterback discussion here today from the strategy standpoint,” he said Thursday at a pre-draft press conference. “But I certainly don’t feel like you should be pressured into doing that either.”

And Ireland doesn’t buy into the notion that Tannehill’s stock has “improved” since the college football season ended three months ago. While many draft experts have vaulted Tannehill from a second-rounder to a top-10 pick because of his Pro Day workouts and the lack of other first-round talents, Ireland said his draft board is mostly set after the college football season, before all of the pre-draft workouts and interviews.

Occasionally he’ll move a prospect from the fifth round to the third round, but second-round picks don’t suddenly jump into the top-10, in Ireland’s view.

“I would say very few, very few change drastically from December, February to April,” Ireland said. “I’m not going to worry about how the gurus out there feel about a player.”

Now the million dollar question: Does Ireland have Tannehill rated as a high-first round pick on his board? We’ll find out in six days.
